Backend Engineer (Java Kotlin)

Amsterdam

🚀 Join Quin as a Backend Engineer (Java / Kotlin)

Location: Amsterdam · Hybrid · Full-time

At Quin, we’re building the next generation of digital healthcare tools for caregivers in both primary and secondary care. Our mission: keep healthcare sustainable and accessible for everyone. We do this by creating practical, scalable software that supports clinicians in delivering better care, faster.

We’re not a place for hierarchy or handholding. We’re a small, highly skilled team of engineers who take ownership from concept to production. We’re now looking for a Backend Engineer who thrives in execution mode and someone who wants to build, ship, and make a direct impact.

🛠️ What you’ll be doing

  • Own your code: From architecture to deployment, you’ll take full responsibility for the backend systems you build.
  • Build for scale and stability: Design and implement backend services that are robust, maintainable, and ready to grow with us.
  • Shape technical direction: Collaborate with product, design, and engineering peers to translate product goals into scalable systems.
  • Lead through delivery: Work autonomously, communicate clearly, and execute with focus. No micromanagement; just ownership.
  • Raise the bar: Apply best practices like TDD, DDD, and Clean Architecture as a natural part of your workflow.

💡 What we’re looking for

  • Someone who executes with confidence, not someone looking to be coached
  • Proven experience building scalable backends in a production environment
  • Deep understanding of modern backend architecture; APIs, data modeling, system design
  • A bias toward action: you prefer building over theorizing and take full accountability for delivery
  • A true team player who communicates clearly and thrives in a no-nonsense, flat structure

đź’Ľ Why work at Quin?

  • A mature engineering culture: no junior-heavy teams, no endless rituals, just experienced people solving real problems
  • An international, ambitious team with a shared focus on healthcare impact
  • A beautiful HQ in Amsterdam city center (former Netflix building) with parking, free lunches, drinks, and the best Friday Shoarma in town
  • Hybrid setup with a 60/40 split—but trust us, you’ll want to come in
  • Regular team events like padel tournaments, boat trips, bootcamps, and more.

👊 Let’s build real software that makes a difference

If you’re looking for a place where you can take ownership, move fast, and contribute to meaningful technology, let’s talk.
